- Panoramic views from Housesteads Roman Fort, set high on a rugged escarpment commanding 360 degree views

- Vindolanda - unmissable Roman Camp and Military museum, just south of Hadrian's Wall
- Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
Walking Through History
Hadrian’s Wall Path takes you from Wallsend by the River Tyne through the remote spectacular scenery of central Northumbria, descending, past Carlisle, to the lonely marshes of the Solway, the most northerly point of the Roman Empire.
Carving through the unpopulated Northumbrian landscape, the combination of rugged beauty and history makes for stimulating walking. Along the walk are fascinating ruins and history; you pass turrets, forts and milecastles brimming with Roman history and archaeology.
Hadrian's Wall: the largest Roman artefact
In AD122, Hadrian’s Wall took the soldiers of Hadrian’s 2nd/6th legions just over a decade to build the 73-mile barrier coast to coast across England guarding the northern limits of the Roman Empire. Their astonishing achievement across England remains the largest ancient monument in northern Europe and a Roman World Heritage Site. Large garrison forts like Birdoswald were built all along the line. Stretched out between these, every 1/3 of mile, a watchturret and every mile smaller forts - the mileforts.
These structures enabled Romans to command with efficiency and speed as every milecastle turret can directly see a fort. In its heyday, this intimidating structure was manned by 10,000 soldiers.
Walking Hadrian’s Wall it is impossible not to become fascinated by the history and feeling the presence of everyday Roman military and domestic life.
Path Walkthrough
The path is widely regard as one of the more accessible, less challenging National Trail paths with routes over moorland and rolling field reaching their highest point at 345 m (Green Slack). However, the walk can be fairly wild in places, with the grassy paths that make up this route shifting to the craggy sandstone, typical to this area, that skirts around some of the higher escarpments off the side of the path itself.
With the wall at your side, navigation is not an issue when it comes to walking Hadrian's Wall Path. The route is also finely delineated with National Trail way-markers and you'll be well-equipped with guidebooks and route information.

Walk East to West
The customary way to walk Hadrian’s Wall is East to West, for three old accepted reasons:
- Hadrian built his Wall starting in Newcastle, mainly for ease of supply of materials and military backup.
- Exploration of the Roman sites progressed westwards from Newcastle, and archaeologically numbered and mapped in that direction, rather than for any walking.
- When Hadrian’s Wall Path was designated a National Trail, the National Trail Guide (the only guide at the time) described the Trail in this direction. This has since changed with the support of excellent guidebooks, as well as the Harvey walker’s map which caters for both directions that Celtic Trails supplies. Today, there are also useful mobile apps to help you along the way.

Walk West To East
Walking Hadrian’s Wall Path from West to East is physically easier and typically more picturesque than the conventional East to West direction.
Hadrian’s Wall was built across the beautiful, but wild Northumbrian countryside. Weather on England’s northernmost border can prove unpredictable; walking eastwards, in poor conditions, you have wind and rain at your back, not driving against you.
In fine weather (come summer there is plenty), the afternoon sun is behind you, not in your eyes and the emerging light brings those far flung corners of the terrain into focus. Many classic views are arguably best seen from West to East – such as Crag Lough, Cuddy’s Crags, Sewingshield Crags and Limestone Corner.
Walking East from Solway coast to Wallsend, Roman sites become progressively interesting. Each day peels back insights and examples of everyday Roman military and domestic life as you head from Carlisle towards Newcastle-which seems anti-climactic when travelling East to West. Plus, Newcastle is a wonderful place to end your walk and perhaps spend an extra day of your trip.

It was great to have an active and very educational, informative holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Northumbria, including the many wonderful people we met along the way. The accommodations were outstanding and the inn/hotel owners were so incredibly accommodating.

I've always been interested in Rome and Romans in Britain, it was great being able to combine this with a specific walk.
Richard, London - July 2023
Absolutely loved this holiday. Particularly enjoyed that each day was very different to the others in terms of terrain walked, views and countryside experienced, and accommodation. Good choice of accommodation each with its own character. Excellent 'time out' from usual stresses and strains of life. As usual with Celtic Trails, Well organised. Good choice of accommodation. Option to be flexible. Information supplied excellent.
Anon - July 2023
Well organised and helpful
Mark - July 2023
We feel accomplished, proud, historically enlightened and in even better shape than when we started. The landscape was breathtakingly beautiful and we are grateful we embarked on this journey. Celtic Trails fulfilled every promise. Thank you! We haven?t decided on another walk yet, but when we do, we will contact Celtic Trails for sure.
Tom - July 2023
We really enjoyed the physical history, 2000 year old architecture/engineering, social history etc. Very nice to be immersed in the journey too of course. Eat, walk, Eat, Sleep, Repeat ?? Always a bit reluctant for it to come to an end. A good sign.
Keith Robertson, Eryri - June 2023
In a word, booking with Celtic Trails was "easy". They took all the hard work out of the planning. We'd defo book again.
Ian (Stoke) - June 2023
Celtic Trails took care of everything. All I had to do was get to the starting point of the walk. I enjoyed the amazing landscape and that i could combine that with my passion for archaeology and museums.
Monika P - June 2023
Overall, well thought out and organised walking holiday, which was both historically interesting and physically challenging. Enjoyed the whole experience.
Les Millward. Leek - June 2023
Our experience with Celtic Trails was very good. Arrangements all went smoothly and accommodation totally suitable.
Alan and Jean Drury - June 2023
Celtic Trails offers extremely thorough and comprehensive information on every aspect of trip. Effective booking arrangements and all achieved with charm when we had to make alterations. Lots of blisters and trashed feet due to the heat even with my well worn boots but despite that a fabulous experience and as planning was so thorough, it was all splendid. This Hadrian?s Wall walk was on my bucket list and I?m so pleased we did it, the heat made it super challenging but we still finished on time and met amazing people en route and saw the most wonderful views and scenery. I?d recommend it to anyone but maybe take more than 6 days to fully enjoy what you pass along the way.
Anon - June 2023
Much better Much better Much better than other walking holiday companies: swift and correct responses to all my questions & wishes. In particular the flexibility in the tours. Celtic Trails do very good walking tours that you can tailor to your own needs without extensive costs. They do everything they promise.
Mr. D.R. Potters, The Netherlands - June 2023
Celtic Trails were professional, friendly and helpful. Lots of walkers we met just walked and many regretted not taking the time to soak up the Roman History around them. I;m really glad we had 'rest' days to enjoy the Forts and appreciate our Great British history. To us, this was as enjoyable as the walk itself. I loved the absolute remoteness - turning 360 degrees and only seeing valleys and dips and fields ... and of course the wall!
Anon - June 2023
Our experience with Celtic Trails was exceptional! When we travel next to the UK we will definitely use their services! This is one of the best holiday experiences of my life, enabling me to have an adventure with my two sons which we'll talk about for rest of our lives. The people of England were fantastic from those we stayed with to those we met along the trail! All made possible by a great planning, coordination and support effort by Penny and the Celtic Trails team
Traveler from the U.S.A - June 2023
Celtic Trails are efficient, friendly and comprehensive. I have walked a few long distance walks and would recommend Hadrian's Wall. Particularly, for the first timer. Easier than most and good logistics.

Celtic Trails are a very reliable company. All went smoothly.
R & L Allen - May 2023
Celtic Trails were organized, efficient, warm, and open to questions about rescheduling. This gave me the opportunity to see places I hadn?t before, to experience history on my own walking power rather than being driven by a company, to be close to nature, and to meet lovely people who love the idea of walking.
Dr. Mary Desrocher - May 2023
Really good experience. Everything was sorted out prior to the walk. Having the comfort of knowing meals, luggage transfers and accommodation booking was in place, allowed me to concentrate on the walk. I would recommend this method to anybody and especially Celtic Trails as the personal service was excellent.
Dave, Wiltshire - May 2023
With friends, I start by describing our trip. Then ALWAYS praise Celtic Trails are as the lynchpin for making the holiday such a good one. So well organized. Great options for distances. and, always ready to help with connections and last minute changes, like we had due to return flight issues. St C walk had such interesting stops and the final walk to Holy Island memorable. the people walking this route were diverse and had different reasons for walking. we 3 enjoyed their short company.
Susan Church - May 2023
Excellent organisation and very detailed information pack. Support available if required on the walk. Thank you, Celtic Trails, for all your work making our trip and enjoyable, success. South West Coast Path next ...
Anon - May 2023
The accommodation standard was exceptional. Great hosts, lovely clean rooms and amazing food. This was an excellent way for my friend and I to spend a week in each other's company with a sense of achievement at the end of it. It was a bit of a challenge, with some hard days walking but it gave us the chance to sort out the world's problems while walking through some of the best scenery in England. As one young lady said to us in a café "You could have had a week in Benidorm in the sun, lazing by the pool" Yes we could. But where's the fun in that?
Ian Gilmour - May 2023
A totally stress free vacation. Celtic Trails takes care of all the details. All you have to do is show up and walk. Walking during lambing season and the springtime was the perfect de-stressor. Fresh air every day and views the stretched for miles. Loved every minute...even the hills! We upgraded our accommodations and all the places were lovely.

S. Jeffries - September 2022
Celtic Trails covered every details, so that all I needed to focus on was the walk. It was great for my mental health, allowing me to completely detach from work and enjoy the experience. I went into this walk ready to experience both history and the concept of a long-distance walk. I came away loving the walk more than the history, which will guide me in determining what is next.
K. Tomiser, California, USA - September 2022
Booking with Celtic Trails means you can focus on the trail and leave the rest to them. Would recommend.

Susan, Colombus USA - June 2022
An excellent experience. I felt as though everyone looked out for us because of Celtic Trails. The Thames River Walk next.
Anita, PA, USA - June 2022
The quality of the experience starts with an impressive website and continues through the communication and attention to detail that appears effortless to the walker, but obviously involves tremendous amounts of planning behind the scenes. We're hooked!

Celtic Trails did an excellent job of arranging everything. The service that Celtic Trails provided meant we could focus on our holiday and bee free of the details. Thank you so much.

Celtic Trails were hassle free. Easy to arrange. Everything was fine.
Anon - September 2021
Celtic Trails were efficient and responsive to my individual requirements. This was the first time I had walked alone, so I returned with a sense of achievement. Possibly Jurassic Coast next.

Christine, Lanarkshire - June 2021
Reliable service. Did what the packet said! This holiday had a good impact on my health and well-being. The walk helped me forget my health issues for a while. Particularly enjoyed out visit to Vindoland Fort and Museum.
Mary Southwood - May 2021
This has been our only 'aided' walk. Prior to this, we carried our own luggage. We would now always recommend an 'aided' walk - much more relaxing. Long distance walking is great for the soul and for being able to visit numerous places in one holiday. Hadrian's Wall is a good walk, especially for beginners - relatively easy with lots of cultural places to visit on the way. The Roman Forts and museums were fabulous.
Anon - October 2020
Altogether very enjoyable - very well organised, everything went smoothly. Good B&Bs with hear breakfast and good evening meals and packed lunches. Saw the best of the wall. Beautiful views. Sense of satisfaction at the end. Learnt all about the Romans. Enjoyed sharing experiences with other walkers. Vindolanda is a must - brilliant!
Stephanie, Bristol - September 2020
Very happy with information provided. Celtic Trails were very professional and well organised.
Rich & Sabine, Worcestershire - September 2020
Very efficient firm allowing you to relax and enjoy your walk. This holiday was a real boost during this covid crisis. A long distance walking holiday is an interesting way to explore new territory and it's brilliant to leave the car behind. We already have Offa's Dyke booked with you for next year.
Ceri, Abergavenny - September 2020
Everything was easy, we didn't have to do anything. Well organised and we were given options where necessary. The walk was definitely enhances by an extra day to visit Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum - would recommend this to all walkers.
Iryna - September 2020
This was my first booked walk and Celtic Trails made it so easy and trouble-free - I'd have no trouble in recommending them and will certainly be looking to book another walk through them. I came away from the holiday feeling I'd achieved something worthwhile and the experience was unforgettable. I wanted to experience the dramatic English countryside with a bit of history thrown in to the mix and Hadrian's Wall Path fitted the bill perfectly. The 4 - 5 day walk fitted the bill as this was my first foray in to long-distance walking. Scotland or Wales next - I haven't made up my mind.
Jim, Cambridgeshire - August 2020
Celtic Trails were very well organised, with a great choice of walks to cater for different fitness levels. I felt looked after. The walk from Birdoswald to Simonsburn was most spectacular. I really enjoyed the Roman Army Museum at Walltown. It is an absolutely fascinating look at life as a soldering 1900 years ago on the wall (and very well done).
Ms J. Mather, London - August 2020
Many thanks again for a truly wonderful holiday and for sorting very last minute due to all that was going on. We would highly recommend you and cannot wait for next year's walking holiday already. Your customer service, walking walks with so much detail and accommodation was brilliant and you took all the hassle out of organising a trip like this. In respect of the Covid pandemic, you covered everything to be expected. We felt very safe.
Darren Barrett - August 2020
I could only use good words to describe Celtic Trails. We just love hiking. We most enjoyed the landscape, history and our hosts.
S. Jacobsen - October 2019
Excellent details of all routes each day, including to and from our accommodation. Celtic Trails was better than our previous experience - mainly due to the personalised detail that they enabled us to undertake. Fully recommend to anyone due to the detail, both when initially making arrangements and then with the holiday itself. Completion of the walk gave us great personal satisfaction, as well as improving our walking strength. Everyone we met, both on the trail, in pubs and in B&Bs were friendly, helpful and gave us useful information, which added to the holiday enjoyment.
Anon. - October 2019
I would recommend Celtic Trails to a friend. Contact with staff and the service provided was excellent, as was the Walk Pack and Walk Information.
Smith - September 2019
I found the booking process easy and always received a fast response from you. When the beautiful walk pack arrived, it was such exciting fun to unpack it and I felt thrilled to start the walk immediately. I felt very safe with you and all of my needs and expectations were absolutely fulfilled. I celebrated by 40th birthday on the walk, but I felt so vivid and young while rambling and full of energy. After completing the walk, a friend said: "You are really relaxed!!!"
Anon - September 2019

K. Cotart - August 2019
Celtic Trails were effortless. Everything worked as it should, the accommodation was of a high standard. We were really pleased with our choice. Bizarrely, this was one of the most relaxing holidays I've ever had. Once I'd completed a day's walk, I felt I could just relax and unwind. I am so glad I have completed Hadrian's Wall Path and feel inspired to undertake more long-distance walks in the future. Even the rain couldn't put me off!

Celtic Trails were helpful when booking, friendly and everything worked.
Singleton - July 2019
Responsive, efficient, friendly, trouble-free experience - Celtic Trails took the hassle out of the planning.

We enjoyed the variety of out B&Bs, the terrain and the camaraderie of other walkers we encountered.
C. Jameson - June 2019
The Hadrian's Wall trip was fantastic. Your team did an excellent job on the package and the accommodations. The maps you provided were great.
J.W. - June 2019
Very well presented travel pack and good communication. Friendly, reliable, professional service. We enjoy the challenges of a long distance walk.

g&l kIDDLE - May 2019
Tried this as our first longer distance walk because it is thought to be the easiest national trail. Instructions were clearly laid out and it all went smoothly.
Anon. - May 2019
This holiday was better than I had hoped for. Celtic Trails were very professional and delivered above and beyond. I have Parkinson's, so took this on both for its serenity and personal challenge - it delivered on both! The trails were well marked and the accommodations, amazing.
J. Matterson - May 2019
The whole trip was well-organised and very easy to follow. Everything went smoothly. Out luggage left on time and was at the next destination when we arrived. I have not used a company before, but this was a great experience and I would use you again.

Kohli & Melas-Kyniazi - September 2018
The level of organisation around our trip took away all of the stress allowing us to embrace the challenge of the walk and enjoy the views, the people we met and the places we visited. The literature sent to us allowed us to plan our visits to the key historical sites along the way. We are already talking about our next 'long walk'.
Mr Telford - September 2018
We enjoyed the solitude and being able to walk at our own pace. Also, the views were spectacular.

Hi Penny. Just got home and wanted to send a quick note saying thank you for all of your arrangements for our Hadrian's Walk. While I realise this is what we pay for when contracting your services, it was such a pleasant trip and that is thanks to you. From how the first night blip was handled to the sub-contractors you use, everything was wonderful. I would not hesitate to recommend Celtic Trails to anyone and hope to use your services again in the future for another adventure.

Mr & Mrs Barrett - August 2018
Celtic Trails more than met my expectations - they exceeded them :-) We particularly enjoyed being outside the wall as the Romans did. You appreciate hard work and engineering skills much more walking the whole thing. What was great about a long-distance walking holidays was spending time with my husband; the teamwork and having a goal every day.
Ms Bach - August 2018
We most enjoyed the company, the scenery and the challenge.

Celtic Trails met my expectations; their service and the contact with them was excellent. We really enjoyed the museums along the way, the scenic countryside and the signposted information about the history of Hadrian's Wall.
Billington - July 2018
We most enjoyed the history and the scenery. You see more than when you travel by car and also meet people. We would book with you again but would ask more questions … we are avid walkers, but found the 6 walking days and one rest day a challenge
Mr & Mrs Dempsey - July 2018
We particularly enjoyed the stunning views and landscape, as well as the peace and quiet, which allows you to clear your our heads. Thanks for a quick response on Wednesday morning when we could not do the last track to Bowness on Solway.

We found you on an internet search and like that you catered for west to east walks along this route. Our transfers were carried out as expected and we most enjoyed the scenery, history and the people that we met along the way.
T & M - July 2018
My in-laws recommended you and you met our expectations. Transfers were perfect (drivers were so helpful and flexible), the scenery was spectacular and the hosts were very friendly and helpful.
Gentile-Wood & Smoyer - July 2018
We have never done a walking holidays before and Celtic Trails met our expectations. We enjoyed the challenge, as well as the scenery and history of Hadrian's Wall.

The best thing about this holidays was walking the wall, the accommodations and the social evenings. I have walked with you before and you have met my expectations again.
Mr Evans - June 2018
We enjoyed the range of accommodations - little B&Bs to more established, comfortable accommodations.
Hammond & Trask - June 2018
We really enjoyed the scenery, especially over crags. On the whole, our accommodation was excellent and we understand we booked standard accommodation; if I were to undertake another of these holidays, I would prefer to pay more to have accommodation of a consistent standard (we cannot rate Walwick highly enough).
Mr & Mrs Rolland - June 2018
"Celtic Trails - you did an excellent job - everything went smoothly, making for a worry-free trip! We are already planning our next Celtic Trails vacation! Please thank the baggage transfer company for us - their work was excellent, as well!"
Shortridge - May 2018
"Well organised, clear instructions, B&B's were of a high standard - better than expected - all very good/excellent. As this was my first experience of a long-distance walking I had nothing to compare it with. However, it has made me want to do more holidays like this. We were very lucky with the weather which helped. My 23 year old daughter also enjoyed it and it was great to spend a whole week with her in such a wonderful environment."
Sutton - May 2018
"A late booking very efficiently arranged."
J. A. T - April 2018
What we enjoyed most was the scenery, bag transfer and the quality of the B&Bs. A long distance walking holiday is a great way to see the country side and to get fit.
M & R - March 2018
"It was a good quality family time. We have a 13yr old son. Often on holidays we end up 'doing our own thing' reading, swimming or whatever. But after a bit of a sulky 1st day we got into the spirit of it and had a lovely time; chatting and so on. Admin was very efficient. Quick responses. Walk tailored to our needs. When the pack didn't arrive at our home, one was sent to our first B&B. We would be happy to use Celtic Trails again, excellent service."
Chang - August 2017
"Most of the accommodation was wonderful, they could not do enough for you! Overall, it was an amazing adventure! Thanks for everything, Penny."
S. R - July 2017
"Don't feel we can offer any comments for improvement. First class service & support. Thank you!"
Molloy - July 2017
"We were delighted with the level of info. provided with the walk pack - all and everything we needed. Accommodation exceeded our expectations."
Hedley - June 2017
"I enjoyed completing an ambition, walking with friends and your help to allow me to walk with my dog."
Holtom - April 2017
"Incredible countryside, the views, the camaraderie which happens among walkers. Met many amazing people. Thank you for a very memorable experience."
Amerighi - September 2016
"We would certainly use Celtic Trails again – you were very efficient and responded promptly to all out questions & were very flexible."
Homel - September 2016
"All went perfectly, very impressively co-ordinated. The walk was a big challenge and we all proud to have completed it, its time for reflection, meeting among other travelers. It was a fabulous experience and I’d like to do it again, on another walk organised by Celtic Trails."
Kollé - September 2016
"Please let me congratulate again for the rapidity and effectiveness that you have shown by organising the whole trip on a very late request of mine. The experience we had with you/Celtic Trails was excellent and we’d like to try another one in the future. Before contacting you, we contacted another company – they told me that they could not organise the trip at such a short notice. Your attitude made the difference. The material was complete to even to the slightest detail and such a thoroughness was extremely appreciated."
Dalla Ragione - July 2016
"We had a wonderful walk along Hadrian’s Wall. Everything was perfect! All the B&B’s were very good, wonderful people and some were really above all our expectation. Lovely. The whole trip was a great experience."
Siethoff - July 2016
"We booked the more expensive trail, but it was worth every penny. All B&B’s and hotels were as one could hope for, all excellent hosts and guesthouses to return to."
Berkers - May 2016
"Excellent personal service. We particularly appreciated the extraordinary efforts your staff made to meet our special needs. A very warm thank-you."
Thomas - May 2015
"We had a fantastic first walking tour with Celtic Trails. It was seamless! So relaxing to not have to worry about anything but walking. The accommodations were wonderful! Thank- you!"
Donoghue & Anninger - October 2014
“I just wanted to write and thank for organising this great trip for us. The distances worked well and the sights were great. The accommodation each evening was particularly good and a real delight.”
Brereton - May 2014
"We had a wonderful walk, fantastic company, breathtaking scenery and again felt a little sad when the walk was over."
Young - September 2011
"It exceeded our expectations. We'd like to add that all the people who run the accommodations provided excellent service."
Fontana & Sentinanat - August 2011
The accommodations were good, as was the luggage transfer.
